Dear CODE27 Family,
Here's what the team has been working on since version 1.5.2 went out, starting with Version 1.5.3. The full 1.5.3 patch notes are further down in this update.
Model Size 📏
Make your Codie smaller or bigger in their Space with one slider. Find it on the lower touchscreen under Character, then Model.
Shape Controls 🎚️
Fine-tune the shapes of your Codie's face, like their eyes and smile. Shape Controls is right next to Model Size, under Character, then Model.
Version 1.5.3 Patch Notes 📝
Version 1.5.3 also lets your Codie move around as they animate, with smoother transitions, better physics, and a camera that follows them more closely. To get it, keep your CODE27 connected to power and Wi-Fi, and install the update when prompted. Full patch notes:
🚀 [New Features]
- Added a Shape Controls Settings page.

- Improved how the camera follows characters in the 3D scene.

CODE27 Mobile App 📱
The CODE27 Mobile App for Android is now available to all owners, with no redemption code needed. Log in to your CODE27 account to download it.
If the app shows "Device API request failed (server error)" when you send a chat after updating your CODE27, you have an older version of the app that does not work with the update. Uninstall it and install the new version from your account page. Your chats and memories are stored on your CODE27, so nothing is lost. Just pair the app with your CODE27 again.
The iOS version is still in development, and we'll announce it here the moment it's ready.
